Where do I even begin. In 2017 at the age of 44 it all started. At the time, life going well, getting ready to retire early which I had planned my whole working life. Then 1 month before retirement the shit hit the fan. At the time, in great shape, marathon runner, etc. - hadn't even been to...

Update: So my walking is down to pretty much nothing at this point after the knee surgery. Can't put much weight on it "usually." If it's straight and has weight on the shooting pain level can be a 10-10 - literally the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. As a result - I believe I'm...

I've read through many of your posts over the last few years. Really well written and has given me hope. Myself and I'm sure the community appreciate your contributions. I will take your words to heart - thank you - I appreciate it.

I appreciate it - thank you so much. Hope you are doing well.

No offense taken at all. I appreciate your thoughts and think you are right. I'm trying to get some counseling as we speak. Have an appt. with a TMS person next week. Thank You

So my knee surgery recover is going horribly. I'm now using a walker to get around and barely been able take care of myself. Doctors can't figure out why I'm in so much pain. Going to get more imaging I guess - but I can't help but wonder if this whole thing was/is TMS. I can tell my leg...

Day 5 - skipped a few but did them. First day of journaling today. Some ugly stuff.

Day 3. Haven't excericed in over 4 month. last time I excercised I ran 3 miles. I used to be a marathon runner, before all these symptoms started. But now I've torn up my knee (or so the quaks say) and my pain level is at a 9 when I walk or run - so haven't been about to excercise in quite...

After 8 years of researching - I'm finally taking the plunge into the program and have completed day 1.

Thanks for your thoughts and the "tough love." Guess the 8 years just seems to get the best of me sometimes. That said - I know you're right - and it's really the only way forward. I'd be the first to admit that depression and anxiety are part of the equation now. I really need to visualize...

I really appreciate your thoughts and so truly sorry for what you've gone through. You are wise beyond your years (I'm 52). I guess it's hard not to be convinced this is a life sentence. I know that isn't the attitude to have - but 8 years has really worn me down. Sometimes it just feels...

Thanks to both of you. You've got me pegged Rabscuttle. I've been through so much the last 8 years. 40+ doctors, Mayo Clinic, ALS on the table at one point and the list just goes on and on. Went from being a marathon runner to having trouble making it to the bathroom. Then severe knee pain...

Hello All - posted her a few times over the years. My saga is too long to go though but I'm on year 8. The list of symptoms is just sooo long - I wont bore you. Currently, I just had meniscus surgery after having 2 opinions saying it needed surgery. Now I wish I wouldn't have done it as the...
